crossochelius and labeo compatibility

0

Hi,

i don't know if it's the right section...anyway i have started my first aquarium 3 months ago and my seller sold me a labeo bicolor and a crossochelius siamensis.
Now i know that this two fish aren't compatible: in effect the labeo, when see the crossochelius on the bottom of the aquarium, chase him.

I have a rio 125: what i must do? i redeliver this 2 fish? Or i keep the labeo and deliver the crossochelius?

I'm not sure that tank is big enough for the labeo. They are very active and can be very aggressive fish, as you are now learning. It might be better if you got rid of him.

When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... KingfisherEverything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions. I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me

Agreed with Mommy. The Red tailed shark needs more room and is highly territorial, and they're both mid-bottom dwellers. You'd be safer keeping the siamese algae eater, because he's much more peaceful and will be a lot more tolerant sharing the tank with others. You can also keep them in groups without issue, but of course, they do get pretty big - about 5" in length. Keep that in mind while stocking the tank.
